In the quiet, rain-drenched landscapes of rural India, a reclusive ornithologist finds her solitary world upended in In Shelter of Birds. Directed by Lajwanti Waghray, the film follows Maya, a woman who has sought refuge in her work studying migratory patterns, using the predictable journeys of birds to distance herself from a painful and turbulent past. Her carefully constructed isolation is shattered when a sudden, violent storm brings an unexpected visitor to her remote sanctuary—a wounded stranger with secrets of his own. Forced to shelter him, Maya must navigate the uneasy tension between her instinct to protect her fragile peace and a growing, unsettling connection that threatens to unearth memories she has long tried to bury. This atmospheric drama weaves a delicate tapestry of healing and haunting, where the calls of birds echo the unsaid words between two fractured souls, exploring whether some migrations are not of distance, but of the heart.
